FIX - Audio streaming (quality issues)

[B-RAN]

well if you put false for the "http" option instead of the "player" one, it apparently only uses opencore for streaming media, instead of all media, local or streaming.

Huh - this sounds promising and would give us the "cake and eat it too" solution.

That is my thought as well. Because the main problem we are all having is with streaming media (pandora, slacker, etc). So why would anyone prefer to change the "player" then? I havent seen any complaints about local media, just the streaming. Am I wrong?

Pandora is sounding OK so far...I think I'm going to have to enable stagefright to hear the "bad" for comparison.

Can anyone tell me how bad is "bad"? Is it like utter garbage, or moderately degraded, or what?

Mine has different quality each song. One song will be great, one will be very light and another will have an echo.

stagefright on pandora for me sounded like mono. it was flat with no separation between channels.

Heh - I'm listening to Pandora using stagefright and there's nothing that leaps out at me screaming "this is awful!"

The app that is most effected is the Sirius XM app as with stagefright enabled you get the same 20 second loop of music over and over and over. Its not even listenable, this brought back the total functionality of the XM app

Well, in any case I think this might do the trick! Pandora certainly sounds good to me with enable-http set to false.

I've got some friends on IRC testing this out - everyone should try this and report, especially if you use Sirius as JoelWRX pointed out it should be evident.

Well now that we found the fix if you go to http://www.siriusxm.com/android it says they are releasing a froyo 2.2 version of the app "soon"

Sounds like a more promising response than what Pandora offered.

I dont use Pandora much anymore, what was their solution?

Wait for the next version of Android.

that's very "apple" of pandora...

 

[JoelWRX]

WOW that is laughable no doubt, oh well. It is what it is in the end.

 

[pdroid]

Pretty sure I saw that on droid-life yesterday, but really, it's silly and I doubt it's true. They'll quickly find the stagefright issue and work around it on their end, and release an update.

Well, the one person who tried enable-http and Pandora said it sounded pretty poor. So we need some more data points.
